Got to love people defending the honourable loss their blind support of the club no matter what happens on the field is fabulous. They say it was only 28 points and use stats to say we were in the game and that with only slight tinkering we will be competing for a flag. I used to be one! But week after week poor decision making in drafting, development, coaching tactics, disposal and general football smarts brings us back to reality and disappointment.. We will win a few matches here and there in crappy scrappy games and see the odd flash of what it takes but when it comes to competing against the better clubs we are put back to our real level of average lower ranked team who nobody fears playing. Only two players have football smarts and composure Walsh and Weitering the rest seem to think the best way forward is to put it high in the air to gibbons or betts and let the opposition mark over them ? we kicked scrappy points from set shots and long snaps because we don’t have the skill to figure out what the situation calls for as we move into the forward 50 or how to read leading patterns I used to think one day a switch would flick on and we would rise to our potential and be world beaters. I don’t know how they can fix it quick but honourable losses are not doing it for me, no joy in following the Blues and when people ask me who I follow it will always be Carlton but not with the passion and pride I used to
